I think there is enough material for any motivated individual to build a new plugin version. You have done plenty :p

My game that has no random elements, behaves differently every time I run it. I use the Box2D stuff so I wonder if that's the source and if anyone knows the fix?

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

4 and a half hours later I have it working!

The only holdup with SaveLoadStatus is that is does not like transferring data between layouts. The internal SDK loadInstanceFromJSON check the layer, and kills the instance if it can't find the correct layer to put the instance in. This is unfortunately is always the case when you load instance data from a different layout than you use the data :s

Anyway I altered rexrainbow's SetStatus to overwrite the JSON data when loading, so the instance will be recreated *except* the layer info.

    Acts.prototype.SetStatus = function (obj_type, status)
     {     
        if (!obj_type)
            return; 
        status =  JSON.parse(status); 
          console.log("loading...", status);
         //if (obj_type.sid != status["sid"]) //removed, protection against instanciating in different layers
        var insts = obj_type.getCurrentSol().getObjects();
        var i, cnt=insts.length;
        for (i=0; i<cnt; i++){
               status["w"]["l"] = insts[i].layer.sid //force loaded object into layer of containing instance
            this._set_status(insts[i], status);   
          }
     };   

Thanks rexrainbow,

I think that plugin will work for me.

Note to future people: InstanceBank's JSON data won't work between exported websites and the development versions due to

scirra.com/forum/help-me-fix-instancebank-across-exports_topic78823.html

Yeah, I thought that might be the case. So 3rd party plugin InstanceBank is nice as its an easy way to serialise a lot of data, but its to and from JSON data methods relies on reflection to find definitions.

I would consider this reverse engineering protection similar in spirit to minification. Thus, I would like to be able to turn it off. Anyway, don't complicate your code base on my behalf. I will bite the bullet and write a proper serialisation mechanism for my project. The JSON serialization was a bit inefficient anyway.

Thanks

I am trying to debug an issue in the InstanceBank plugin:

scirra.com/forum/plugin-instance-bank_topic62131.html

This one is hard as I don't know my way round the SDK, basically there is a line which crashes depending on the deployment

var objtype = runtime.types[save_obj["type"]];

Found another bug that the saved instance map doesn't get wiped after a loadBankFromJSON.

Its a fairly simple fix.

I people want the bug fixes I would consider putting it on github

Clean bank does not clear saved instance map which can cause some weird bugs down the line. I suggest changing JS "CleanBank" to:-

InstBankKlassProto.CleanBank = function()
     {
        hash_clean(this._bank); 
        hash_clean(this._saveduid2inst_map); //NEW LINE
     }; 

Great work! I think there is a bug with the picked by saved UID.

After load all instances, picking by saved UID causes a duplication.

The javascript code I think is wrong is

InstBankKlassProto.LoadAllInstancesEpilogue = function()
{
        this._z_sorting.Sorting();
        hash_clean(this._saveduid2inst_map);
}; 

Yes I am an idiot.

serving the webpage on HTTP does make it all work. (it did work on FF though without)

Many thanks
